Game: Georgia 44 LSU 41
Rating: 9 out of 10
Cost: Moderate
Tickets: High
Stadium: I went to a game at Georgia 8 yeas ago and it was a chaotic day. That is to say I didn't fully appreciate the game day experience there and that includes the stadium. Sanford is an majestic structure and it integrates perfectly with its surroundings, particularly the Tate Student Center. Inside they also allow the fans to walk by the hedges on the sidelines, this is a such a great feature especially for post game interaction with the players. On the southeast side of the field they have an homage to all of the Ugga mascots from over the years.
Description: We have a tendency to whine like babies in this culture, I do plenty of it myself. However there are times and events that make it very clear how lucky a person can really be. I live in the United States and have enough disposable income to fly on a plane and attend what will most likely end up being one of the two or three best games of the year. I also sat in the second fucking row. This is the second year in a row I can say this (I was at the Oklahoma vs. West Virginia game last year) and this is the third truely great college game I've seen in person (Ohio State vs. Penn State in 2005 is the other).
This was a slugfest. It started on the first drive and both teams went up and down the field all day. The crowd was into the game (see the videos below) and definitely had an effect. Geogia has the best offense in the country but their defensive coordinator didn't seem to adjust at all. For their sake I hope they either get a lot better on defense or they get more aggressive.

Don’t Miss: The Dawg walk (I didn't get to it, my only regret of the day)
If you want to make it part of a bigger trip: Many options here for other games: Georgia Tech, South Carolina, Clemson, Auburn, Alabama. Savannah, GA is about 3 hours away. Atlanta is an hour.

Avoid: The super drunk Frat-Bros. I wish had license to throwdown with these skinny, obnouxious piles of shit. Georgia is a really nice place, except for the white people and they seem to come in three flavors: skinny little pussy frat boys who hang out in packs because alone they are about as tough as a five year old girl, fat redneck idiots and a mildly attractive female who thinks she's 7x hotter than she actually is.

Some vids from LSU vs.UGA: It was loud on the field but somewhat over exaggerated. One side of Sanford is open so this is not the loudest stadium I've been to. That distinction falls to Oregon.
